For the Lady Vikings, it will be the first of six road games before hosting their home opener on Dec. 12, when they play Cottage Grove — a team they will face as Sky-Em opponents next season. From courtside, new head coach Greg Reynolds, who has been the girls’ junior varsity coach the past three sea- sons and interim varsity coach following last week’s departure of previous head coach See VIKINGS 4B Crabbing remains open along portions of Oregon coast The Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife recently announced the reopening of recreational and commercial bay crabbing from the north jetty of the Coquille River to the north jetty of Coos Bay. The reopening includes crab har- vested in bays and estuaries, and on beaches, docks, piers and jetties. Crab samples taken from the area indicate levels of domoic acid have dropped and remain below the alert level. However, crab harvesting remains closed from the California border to the north jetty of the Coquille River (including the Coquille estuary), and from Tahkenitch Creek (north of Winchester Bay) to Cape Foulweather (north of Newport). Crabbing north of Cape Foulweather to the Columbia River remains open in bays and estuaries, and on beaches, docks, piers and jet- ties. Last Wednesday’s test results and See CRABBING 3B W ARMWATER F ISHING — South Coast The south coast area extends along the Oregon coast from Yachats south to the Oregon-California bor- der. The area offers some of the most productive and scenic warmwater fishing in the state with excellent fishing for bass and panfish available in large waters such as Mercer Lake, Siltcoos Lake, and Tahkenitch Lake. Tenmile Lakes located north of Coos Bay is renowned for its crappie and trophy bass fisheries, and the site of bass tourna- ments. Anglers should also try one of the many smaller lakes scattered along Highway 101 and through- out the coastal dunes area, or Triangle Lake closer to the Willamette Valley. The warmwater fish available in the south coast area include: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bullheads, black crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, yel- low perch, green sunfish, warmouth and channel cat- fish. North and South Tenmile Lake provide some of the finest warmwater fishing on the Oregon coast. Located on the east side of Hwy 101 mid-way between Reedsport and Coos Bay, the combined lakes offer nearly 2,000 acres of water and miles of shoreline to fish for largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie and brown bullhead catfish. Much of the property around Tenmile is private- ly-owned and the lakes are best fished by boat, but a fishing dock at Tenmile Lake County Park in the small community of Lakeside is wheelchair accessible and a great spot for kids. There also is a campground and boat launch at the County Park. Spinreel Campground (US Forest Service) on the west side of Hwy 101 offers camping for those wanting an extended stay. Several area resorts and marinas also provide camping spaces, lodging and boat rentals. The shoreline of North and South Tenmile is var- ied as a number of streams flow from the coastal foothills and into the lakes See FISHING 4B 1622 16TH ST Newer in town home next to bike path & Miller Park.
